The first time my husband and I visited Bavaro, Punta Cana we were told to visit Captain Cook and so we did. For 2 lobsters we paid about 112$ after taxes and the lobster was overcooked and the side dishes were soggy fries and corn.

I now live on the island in Los Corales and am much more familiar with these type of restaurants where tourists get taken advantage of. A couple of very good places to eat seafood is Acqua at Bibiacqua and Jellyfish both located near the Barcelo Resort. Both places have a very relaxed atmosphere with Jellyfish being the more elegant surroundings

In 2004, for my first time in DR, I went to Captain Cook and had kept a great souvenir of our barefoot-in-the-sand dinner. We decided to go back this year and were so disappointed. The prices for 1 lobster for 2, are much more important than in our 5* hotel (there for unlimited lobster dinner). The restaurant was a mess and nearly empty, much more staff or vendors than customers, no more tables in the sand.
We had a small lobster for 2 + a little piece of tuna (served with good potatoes and salad)+ 1 coke + 1 Presidente for about 110$.
Much too expensive ... tuna was perfect but that's all ....

We were used to do some shopping in El Cortecito before going to Captain Cook but now El Coretecito looks like a ghost town, the supermarket is closed so it seems there's no life anymore around there (except souvenirs vendors without any customers)
